    It's not shiny until it's really shiny .. I can't take pictures without my finger marks on it but I can clearly see my bald head from the reflection

    Another 240mm gyuto , I was trying a flatter and shorter profile on this one . It is in 52100, the handle is Meiji style tapered d made from Australian Beefwood and buffalo horn. The knife has more like a workhorse grind , 47mm at the heel and has very good food release , one of the best cutters I have made

    The whole package looks stunning, Mert. The handle in particular is very nicely done! Amazing work.

    Cheers,

    Your work went from functional. To, myself imagining that beautiful knife in my hand. Less than a year has passed from when I saw your first ones. I am absolutely amazed Mert. The makers mark, the idea of perfection in your mind, the beautiful fit and finish. I am stunned by what you are making now. So young of a blacksmith and making such amazing work. I would be honored to have one of these. I will be having one soon.

    Thank you for your kind words Brad , you guys are giving me more credit than you should for the fit & finish and the handles . I want my knives to have good heat treatment , good grinds and to cut , cut very well. It has been less than a year I started but one thing I learned in cooking I believe translates into knife making same: you are as good as the last plate (knife) you have done.Hopefully next knife will be better than last one I made
